The dishes arrived earlier than the two of them, and Zhou Ling raised the live fish he bought into the pot. I put the fresh vegetables aside, and cleaned the shrimp and crabs before throwing them into the pot.

When Zhou Yiran took Zhou's mother home, Zhou Ling was peeling fresh lotus seeds.

This season, it is the time of "lotus leaves and fields", and lotus seeds are the most tender and fresh.

Zhou Yiran saw that the kitchen was full of dishes, and immediately asked, "Sister, why do you go out to buy vegetables by yourself when your leg is injured?"

"What, your sister's foot is injured, why don't you tell me on the road!"

As she spoke, Zhou's mother rushed to the kitchen and held Zhou Ling's ankle to check the injury.

There is still a little redness and swelling on my ankle, which is much better than yesterday.

"You said that you kid, you don't tell me if your leg is injured!" Zhou's mother complained while gently massaging her red and swollen area with her hand.

"Mom, I'm fine, it's just that I broke my foot. I ordered these dishes on the app and people sent them to me, so I didn't need to go out and buy them in person. ”

"Oops, you're so wasteful. It's good to wait for me to come back and go out to buy it, this hire someone to send it is not a waste of money!"

Zhou Ling couldn't explain to her the problem of time cost, and he also knew that his mother had always been thrifty, so he smiled and responded.

"Mom, I've already cleaned up the room. ”

Fortunately, the house they bought was a three-bedroom apartment with two side bedrooms, and one room in addition to the one that was naturally sleeping now. Otherwise, her mother would suddenly come to the door, and she wouldn't be able to find a room for her to sleep in.

"Okay, okay, you two go back and get busy, I'll get the kitchen." ”

"It's your first time here today, it's a long journey, how can you keep you busy. I'll come, Mom, resolutely, you put Mom's luggage over and take Mom over for a good rest. ”

"I'm not tired, it's so much easier to just sit than to do farm work. It's not good for you to cook with your feet, so as not to hurt yourself again. Resolutely help your mother put her things over, and then go to rest with your sister. ”

Zhou Ling wanted to say something but was pushed away by Zhou Yiran, "Sister, you don't know your mother's personality yet, so you can't be idle, you just let her be busy! Besides, I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for a long time, I want to die!"

"You glutton, get out of here, don't get stuck in the kitchen and disturb my work. Zhou's mother smiled and drove the two out.

Put on your apron, roll up your sleeves, grab the fish in the basin and smash it with the back of your knife, and then kill the fish cleanly, scrape the scales, and dispose of the internal organs. The whole process is smooth and smooth, and there is no mud and water at all.

This gave Zhou Ling a relaxed feeling of returning to her childhood, when her mother was also busy in the kitchen, and she and her younger brother were playing in the courtyard.

As time passed, my mother's back was no longer as straight as it had been, and her hair was a little gray.

It is impossible to say that she doesn't love her mother, but compared to these, what makes Zhou Ling unable to let go is that no matter how hard she works and how good she is, in the eyes of her mother, she will always favor her younger brother.

For so many years, it has always been like this.

Sometimes, the hurt to a loved one is even more unrelieved. Because you can never treat a pure enemy like a simple hate.

It's too complicated, it's a love-hate relationship.

On the one hand, I feel sorry for my mother's fleeting years, recalling the warm bits and pieces of the past, but on the other side of my mind, there will always be those unfair, chilling details.

Rong Zheng, who received the text message, happened to get off work and was about to buy some food to go home, when he suddenly learned that his mother-in-law was coming.

Immediately, I turned the car to the mall and bought a lot of things, what clothes, shoes, food, and even toiletries were all prepared.

This is already the limit for Rong Zheng, who has never known what intimate romance is.

Of course, in fact, he didn't know what to buy, but he just listened to the clerk's introduction and simply bought it all.

This made the clerk so happy that she couldn't stop praising Rong Zheng for being a good son-in-law, and her mother-in-law was happy when she saw it.

Fortunately, Rong Zheng's expression is not much, and when he heard the clerk's unsparing praise, he only turned red behind his ears.

Regarding the Cold War, in fact, Rong Zheng has no awareness at all.

In the past two days, he just felt that he was very entangled, his heart was very chaotic, and he was not angry with Zhou Ling at all.

Now that Zhou's mother is here again, Rong Zheng subconsciously wants to behave, and he didn't even notice it, the muscles on his face have relaxed a lot, and his steps are lighter.

Obviously, I was nervous and looking forward to being able to show myself well.

Rong Zheng had just gotten out of the elevator and had not yet returned home, when he smelled a strong aroma of food.

I kept walking in search of this scent, and it turned out to be from home.

He pushed open the door, and Zhou's mother just brought the braised fish to the dining table, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Rong Zheng and the large and small things he was carrying.

Rong Zheng is back, hurry up and get ready to eat immediately. ”

Zhou resolutely sat on the sofa and watched TV, and after Zhou's mother finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the kitchen to work.

Originally, there were only two people, him and Zhou Ling, and the house suddenly became lively.

I don't know why, Rong Zheng only felt that his whole body had become warm, as if he had completely integrated into this atmosphere, and he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

"Resolutely, where's your sister?"

Rong Zheng asked with a smile, obviously in a very good mood.

Zhou Yiran pursed the corners of his lips very unhappily, obviously not completely discouraged by Rong Zheng.

However, because of his mother's presence, he couldn't get too stiff with Rong Zheng, so he could only snort at the study, and responded indifferently.

"Where's the study. ”

Rong Zheng was not angry, and put the big bag of things in his hand on the coffee table, "This is a gift for your mother, resolutely, you can help me transfer it." ”

He was really embarrassed to hand these things to Zhou Ling's mother in person, so he could only ask Zhou Yiran.

"This ...... These are all for my mother?"

Zhou Yiran looked at the thing that occupied the entire coffee table in amazement, and asked in surprise.

"Well, yes. ”

Zhou Yiran looked at Rong Zheng with a look of disbelief, "You won't move the entire mall back, will you?"

At least he knows how to please his mother, and he has a bit of a mind.

Zhou Yiran's expression eased, and his attitude towards Rong Zheng was not as sharp as before.

But such a table of things is really exaggerated.

He scanned it roughly, and found that it was all about clothes, shoes, toiletries, food and clothing!
